Webinars

Non-Violent Communication - Explore the basics of non-violent communication and moving through conversation without blaming. Irene Bowers has had significant experience in leading groups through the precepts of non-violent communication and will share her expertise.

Mission Budget - Learn how to tell the story of your ministry through your budget. Help your congregation and your community get excited about how you are changing lives by living out the gospel message. This webinar will give you tools and steps to take to build your own Mission Based Narrative Budget.

The World Cafe - The World Café is a powerful social technology for engaging people in conversations that matter. Based on the understanding that conversation is the core process that drives personal, business, and organizational life (including the church!), the World Café is more than a method, a process, or technique - it's a way of thinking and being together sourced in a philosophy of conversational leadership.

Redeeming The Past - We all have regrets in life, in fact, the two great thieves of the present are guilt about the past and fear about the future. Guilt and fear together can paralyze us and prevent us from becoming who God has called us to be and can rob us of the power to do what God has called us to do. Dick Hamm has "been there and back" and will help us think through these dynamics and how we can move forward in life and ministry with joy and energy. Dick HAMM

Church Type - This webinar looks at five types of congregations--Perfecting, Pursuing, Preparing, Providing, and Presiding. It will help you understand these congregations, figure out which one you are, and help you know how to move to the type you desire to be. George Bullard has crafted and refined this congregational typology over the past two decades and will lead this webinar.

What are the character traits of deep people in faith? How does a congregation discover and cultivate deeper people, and then empower them to ministry? How crucial is it that the person who holds leadership office be a person of deep faith and character? In our Webinar on April 17th, I will share a vision for developing spiritual depth in congregational leadership, and together we'll talk through the journey toward being congregations that really develop fully devoted followers of Jesus. Hint: the work begins in the Pastor's heart.

Participants in this workshop explore the biblical foundations for Stewardship with specific focus on the fiscal aspects of this spiritual discipline.
